Master Strokes

Give & Take

What you will give to Me and gain from Me?

Initially you will have to show your ability, above all, to communicate with me. This will remain a constant. My first meeting with you will be conducted either in a public place over coffee, a drink, maybe Dinner or in a playroom, especially if you have never actually seen a BDSM one, in order for me to gain a better understanding of you, and you to gain a flavour of the BDSM Master that I am. Not all Masters are to the taste of all subs and slaves. It is not something that either should take personally if a mis-match; a square peg is simply not designed to fit in a round hole. If you cannot share your hopes, desires and fears - how can I be expected to use you fully and effectively for us both? Experienced within the Scene to virginal, it matters not, assumption is dangerous!

There is a phrase that is core to the world of BDSM, "Safe, sane and consensual'

I believe in this whole-heatedly and it is to mutual benefit. I should not be reckless enough to tell you to stick your head in a lion's mouth any more than you should be foolhardy enough to do so without question or discussion. This does not however mean that you may contest my instruction; it simply means that I need to know what your limits are before I engage in any play with you. It might actually mean that I have to hold you back if you are trying to run before you can walk!

we will ascertain what was a 'perceived' truth and a reality; core desires will change; your abilities in one area will accelerate faster than another ... Parameters will shift and change.

Equally you will need to be in physically good shape and take good care of yourself as I expect no less of myself. That does not imply that you should qualify as a swimwear model for Vogue anymore than I am on a par with Charles Atlas. It does mean though that if I am to make an effort for you - I have every right to expect the same by return! No less - if you are physically unfit then you will be somewhat limited in the ways that I may use you. If you have any physical ailments I do expect you to share these with me from the outset in order that you can serve and be used accordingly.

As your BDSM Master: I will indeed at times be hard/tough with you; I will push the edge of your envelope - be that physical, emotional or psychological - to see what strength you have and strength of trust you have in me; I will also be your teacher and protector - I refer you back to the fact that I have known a number of 'so self-titled Doms' who I would term 'Bully/Abuser' - and I will ensure that either no harm comes to you or, at least, that it is not of a permanent nature. There will be times when you will need a helping hand to guide or comfort you and others when you will need to firm hand to direct or punish you!

Only once I have a gauge of your strengths and weaknesses and agreed parameters will I entertain taking you further. This will not be set in stone. Between us, very quickly,
